IMPRovnD BAKINGmIsH.

The Schedule referred tcV in these Letters Patent and making parl:V of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, H. C. WILCOX, of West Meriden, in the county of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and improved Baking-Dish; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,

vand exact description thereof, which will'enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specication. Y

e This invention pclates4 to a new article for cooking puddings, pies, or other similar dishes; and consists in employing an iron enamelled dish, in combination with an outer plated containing-vessel, or casing, as will be hereinafter more fully described. I.

In the accompanying plate of drawings-'- Figure l represents a topview of the article com# plete. l

`Figure 2 is a vertical cross-section through the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. 4

A represents an outer casing, or containingfvessel, used when the baking-dish` is placedupon the table. This' outer dish is made of plated or other ornamental ware, and is especially designed for containing the baking-dish, which is the subject-matter of this invention.

B B represent the ears on this outer vessel. C is the bakingdish. Y This dish is made of iron, or other durable metal, enamelled Von the inside, or otherwise protected from corrosion, and suitable for containing the pudding, pie,

or other article of diet, while being baked or cooked.`

This dish is designed to fit into the outer vessel A, and is placed therein, as the pudding or other article in theV dish C is ready to Vbe placed upon the table.-

The rims of the two vessels, A and C, are covered bythe concave ring D, so that the two vessels will present ainished and ornamental appearance when on the table. -The ring D is plated, or otherwise rendered ornamental, the whole forminga most desirable article of tableacurniture.

I am aware that earthen baking-dishes have been used in connection with an outer containing-vessel heretofore'. I do not, therefore, claim broadly the combination of a'baking-dish with an outer or containing- .vesseli Such dishes are frail, ar'e soon broken, and 'become useless.

Having thus described my invention,

What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters The combination with the outer containing-vessel and the ring D, the metallic baking-dish C, with its inside enamelled, or otherwise covered, and prevented from corroding, substantially as and for the purposes herein described.

H. C. WILCOX. Witnesses:
